Abstract: Provided is an independent tank, and a manufacturing method therefor, for which local bending stress occurring on the vicinity of a boundary portion (welded portion) can be reduced without increasing plate thickness. An independent tank has at least one curvature change portion in which the curvature along the axial direction of plate members that form the tank changes along the axial direction. Both the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the plate member on the small curvature side are not flush with respect to the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the plate member on the large curvature side. The plate thickness center of the plate member on the small curvature side is offset toward the radial direction inner side or the radial direction outer side with respect to the plate thickness center of the plate on the large curvature side.

Abstract: A method for constructing a double-shell-structured cylindrical tank having an inner tank and an outer tank includes: a step of, inside the outer tank, assembling a first structure of the inner tank excluding a lowermost level of the inner tank by alternately and repeatedly performing raising of an inner tank lateral plate using a jack-up unit and attaching of a next inner tank lateral plate below the raised inner tank lateral plate; a step of assembling a second structure serving as the lowermost level of the inner tank on an annular portion provided on a base portion of the outer tank and configured to support the inner tank; and a step of assembling the inner tank by joining the first structure and the second structure.

Abstract: A new procedure for constructing cryogenic storage tanks involves erecting a freestanding metal liner. The liner is sized and configured to withstand the hydraulic forces the concrete wall of the tank being poured without the need for temporary stiffeners on the inside surface of lower portions of the liner. Lateral tension ties can be connected to anchor ties on an outward surface of the liner and used to tie the liner to outer formwork. These ties may be spaced up to about 2 m apart. Studs can also be provided on the outer surface of the liner, and a cylindrical ring of cryogenic steel can be integrated into the liner.
